Great signing for you guys. Love Felton and if LBJ hadn't come to Miami then I could definitely see us going hard at him.

LOL, and if he had gone to Chicago with that loaded roster? Rose is a top 10 NBA player and Boozer isn't far off either. I doubt people would be talking [expletive] right now.

Can you really blame Chris Bosh for being an attention whore? He's been playing in Toronto for 7 years where people never get to see him. This is his big chance at being a well known star across the nation. I could care less whether people hate us or not. Nothing like this has ever been done before in the NBA so I don't expect it to be embraced by many people. I guess we'll just have to wait until we play the games though.

Here's what I think the roster is gonna look like come opening night: PG: LeBron James/Mario Chalmers/Carlos Arroyo SG: Dwyane Wade/Raja Bell SF: Mike Miller/Quentin Richardson PF: Chris Bosh/Jarvis Varnado C: Brad Miller/Joel Anthony/Dexter Pittman I 100% believe Riley envisioned LeBron taking on a Magic Johnson type role with this team.

I guess we'll disagree on this but I would absolutely welcome the idea of having T-Mac here to be our top scoring option off the bench. We saw last year how much our second unit struggled to score at time when the first team was on the bench. There's going to be stretches this year when the big 3 is all on the bench or maybe 2 of them will be. I think having a legit scoring option like T-Mac wouldn't hurt at all. Anyone else think Allen Iverson tries to get in touch with the Heat?

Right.

NONONONONONONO!!!!!!!!!

Our schedule hasn't even been announced has it? Thank God I've had season tix since '01 so I'll be there every night. Cannot wait to see opening night.

Yeah I'm surprised the Sox didn't step up. This makes me think we have some suitors for Vazquez and I guess the Front Office thinks they can get some good players back for him. I dunno, this rotation IMO is already good enough to win a title so I'm not sure if I would've given up one of our top prospects for a guy we can just sign in the offseason.

IMO if he's willing to come for the minimum I'm willing to give him a shot to be our 6th or 7th man off the bench. We are gonna need a scorer when those guys aren't on the floor.

No, in order to sign LBJ and Bosh we had to renounce our rights to all of our FA's so we don't have anyone's Bird Rights. I can see Q coming back for the minimum but after the Drew Gooden deal, I don't see Udonis coming back for the minimum and Dorell either because if Travis Outlaw can get 7M a year then I think Dorell can get 5 or 6 mil a year. I think a guy like T-Mac would definitely jump on board with this squad if he's really serious about winning a ring before he hangs it up. Then you have Raja Bell and maybe a Jason Kapono who may also come for cheap. I think Arroyo signs a minimum deal without thinking twice as well if we come at him with an offer.

I kinda feel bad for them, but at the same time they didn't exactly surround him with the best supporting cast. I mean, he carried that garbage franchise (I'm sorry, before LeBron they were garbage) to the Finals basically by himself. They're gonna be mad for a while, maybe years, but I think its getting a little extreme right now.

LMAOO. That was pretty funny. The cancer won't go into remission until he and congress are gone though.

Don't be shocked if LeBron is our starting PG next year with Chalmers being the 6th man. I could see Miller being the SF in our starting lineup.

LMFAO this dude sounds butthurt as hell. You mad GIlbert?

If LeBron plays PG here, which I expect he will ala Magic...He'll get a triple double and win MVP.

Great for Michael. I'm happy that he'll get to display his talent's in Minnesota and I've aboslutely still be a fan of his. Sad to see him leave Miami.

Both true and untrue. You have different scenario's when there's men on base and then situational hitting which both feature more than one teammate on the bases.

Its no secret down here. Go look on different boards having to do with Miami sports.

Word is that LeBron and Bosh rented out the entire W hotel for this weekend. LBJ has 25 rooms rented out.

At this point. I expect Cleveland to be the name that gets called. I have no faith in ESPN or any reports coming out of Miami.

Apparently Jay Z is now a Miami Heat season ticket holder.

Ah, didn't read lol.

You forgot CC, Pena, Teix, Burnett, Alex and Swish. But I'll let it slide.
